Abstract excerpt
Aberrant activation of beta-catenin contributes to the onset of a variety of tumors. We report that a tumor-derived beta-catenin mutant induces accumulation and activation of the p53 tumor suppressor protein. Induction is mediated through ARF, an alternative reading frame product of the INK4A tumor suppressor locus, in a manner partially dependent on the transcription factor E2F1. In wild-type mouse embryo...
